Handmatige, vroege oogst om de zuren te bewaren. Daarna minimaal 4 jaar rijping teneinde een zachte mousse en meer diepgang van smaak te verkrijgen. Delicaat-droog met in de geur een rokerige tint, bloemen en appel, (kwee)peer, gekonfijt fruit, amandel, hazelnoot, geroosterd brood, honing. Diepe en intense smaak met minerale toets. Lange, complexe afdronk. Indrukwekkend lekker. Jaren als aperitief geschonken bij baanbrekend restaurant Bordewijk in Amsterdam. Gastronomisch breed inzetbaar. Kan stevige gerechten aan.

Winedoctor (5-11-18): "In the glass it displays polished yet pale-straw hue. The bead is rather gentle, sparse even, but it is quite persistent. Aromatically it releases notes that suggest pear and toasted almond, along with scented acacia and touches of mineral smoke. The palate follows this early lead, with fresh pear fruit and acacia at first, but with richer nuances joining in later, including a touch of quince, along with a little dried fruit concentration. This is countered by the palate’s delightfully fresh acidity and a fine effervescent mousse which has a greater impact in the mouth than the bead suggested. It even has some length to it as well. All in all, a good result. 92/100".
